#cockroachjanataparty #cjp #abhijeetdipke Tune into the full episode: https://www.newslaundry.com/2026/06/0... What is the role of protest in a democracy? And will the Cockroach Janta Party protest on June 6 succeed? The day before the protest, the Hafta panel sat down to discuss these questions. On the role of protests in a democracy, veteran journalist Neerja Chowdhury says, “You know the soul of a nation dies if you cannot speak out... I think there’s a lot of concern and worry about how it's (the CJP protest) going to pan out within the establishment. I hope they will not arrest him (Abhijeet Dipke).” While Manisha Pande doesn’t offer a prediction, she remarks, “I think one thing this government clearly knows is that UPA-2 fell because of IAC. They crack down on protesters because they know how a protest can go out of hand. I think they’re very cognizant of that. But it’s been really interesting to see this government struggle with responding to the CBSE case.” Abhinandan Sekhri, meanwhile, sets the stage for what he thinks will happen, as if reciting from a screenplay.
